p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Damp Digger Wasp On Goldenrod


There had been quite a lot of rain and everything was wet. I decided to take an early morning look at the Goldenron flowers, which had been so productive of subjects.

To my surprise, I found one of the smaller Digger Wasps lying on a flower, in an easily photographable pose. I took some shots in situ and them picked of the small group of flowers. I then lay these on a nearby garden bench so that I could get maximum support from it for my hands. At one stage, I used my dark waterproof coat as a background.

The wasp wandered around the flowers but made no attempt to fly away and was returned to the plants after the session.

EM-1, Printing Nikkor 105mm, with up to 80mm additional extension from the 1:1 spacing, twin TTL flash, hand-held.

Nice work. Great detail on all of these. A rare view of this tiny creature.

Thanks. I just changed my mind about the sequence and swapped the first two around.

I found a black-faced one, of similar size, there yesterday and got some good shots.

Thanks, Brian.

It's unfortunate that the second image has that mist in the bottom left. I suppose, with all those drops of water around, the flash must have been deflected by one or more.

Thanks, Ron.

This is where the macro lens shows detail well beyond what your naked eye can see.
